(LeBaron & Alrich)

But when yodelling time came around, which usually was several times per song,
he'd throw back his head and _wail_. there went the mic, the pre and the
Studer. So another U87 was positioned about an arm's length away from him, gain
set for that yodelling action, and the hot parts went down nicely to a
different track on the deck. From there I comped very usable vocals. This
helped not just with the change in level, but also with the shift in vocal
texture. Even if I'd had 24 bits, I don't think I'd want to give you
theyodelling from a few inches off of his mouth.

That makes sense. If the guy went from singing country to singing opera
in the the same song, in that situation it would make sense too to have a far
mic. Now THAT would be crossover...
